Abstract

In order to handle production processes and product quality in small batch production, flexible measuring and inspection systems, which can be automated, are required. The integration of such systems into machine tools represents a profitable approach. The general advantages of inline measuring systems are described in this contribution. Subsequently the article demonstrates two exemplary applications in the areas of geometry inspection and material testing. Therefore an image-processing-based machine vision system and an changeable ultrasonic sensor are employed.
